I got some info from the other guy. He also used RH7 which includes
SASL libraries, and he had crashes in both PHP and ldapsearch. Could
you see if your ldapsearch crashes if you don't use -x parameter? -x
tells it not to use SASL while there are no similar option from PHP.
The other guy solved it by compiling OpenLDAP 2.0.7 himself without
SASL support and using that with PHP.

i don't use SASL
so when i use ldapsearch without -x
I get "ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method"
but it doesnt crash !
when i use php ldap functions with ssl
php doesn't crash but juste an Apache child crash !
so you think that if i compile openldap without SASL i will work ?
i 'm really not sure because it's not that it doesn't work it's just crash ;(

thank for all

Okay, the other guy had a crash there. For me it works without -x and I don't use SASL either.

The Apache child probably crashes because of segfault or something in the LDAP code, but there could be other reasons. In theory you should get the same behavior with ldapsearch as from PHP.

I'm not sure of anything, but what I would have done to debug it, is to use gdb either on the Apache process or on a stand-alone PHP. I prefer debugging with a stand-alon binary myself. Then run PHP with your script and see what happens. If you get a seg-fault or other crash, you can try to use gdb as I explained with ldapsearch to see where PHP crashes. Compiling PHP stand-alone is easy, do configure with just --with-ldap. You don't have to install it either, just run the resulting php binary. If it says something abous sasl where it crashes, I would try to compile OpenLDAP without SASL and then link PHP with the resulting libraries.

If you try gdb on the PHP binary and get some message not related to sasl, or have problems using gdb, let me know.

hum you are right I've compiled PHP stand-alone and running the script and I get ---------------------------------------------- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x4003ba7b in ldap_int_sasl_external () from /usr/lib/libldap.so.2 (gdb) next Single stepping until exit from function ldap_int_sasl_external, which has no line number information. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. -----------------------------------------------

in fact it's ldaplib.so.2 that crash !! what a mess ... in fact it's the sasl function that crash

i'll try to compil ldap without it ! it mays take a while ...

thak for all regards

I have a chat software working on www.jumatateata.ro

The problem is that all the time I get mysql sessions opened and I don't understand. I used mysql_connect (at the beggining of every script) and mysql_close in the end. The ISP told me that still remain mysql sessions opened.

Then I used mysql_pconnect and again, too many sessions opened.

What makes everything hard is that I don't have telnet acces so this is my next question: How I can see mysql sessions opened just using a php script ? Can I ? (I'm asking this because I was thinking that I can write a php script to show me the sessions.=)

Do you have any idea about this ? I'm really interested to find out... Thanx a lot...

I've looked into bug tracking software at hotscripts: mantis http://mantisbt.sourceforge.net/mantis/main_page.php3 is promising but has too many bugs itself still (I fixed three in the past 20 minutes of playing with it, it's still in beta, but I can't afford the estimated x days of debugging it right now). I need something stable to start working with straight away. And preferably something easy to use. Which one should I use?

You could use a 'for' structure to do that...like: for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) { echo "<input type=text name=test[" . $i . "]>"; }

The 'echo' line is different from yours so u can get each text value after the POST action.

See you,

Use a for loop with

<? for ($i=1; $i <= $fields ;$i++) { print("<input type=text name=test>"); }

Or you can use a while loop with a counter... same thing.

I know it is possible to check the input for any duplicates, but for example this guestbook http://pub.alxnet.com/guestbook?id=120611

Well, I've had the same problems with an "Send SMS" routine and it caused the message to get sent twice or more if the user refreshed.

I fixed this by adding the following logic:

If there are post-data, put this into a session variable (an array of key=>val) and reload the page. if there are no post-data put the session-variable array into the current scope again using a foreach loop, and then delete the session variable, so data won't be processed again. Works like a charm, and doesn't include javascript. Don't know if it's excactly right for you, so you might have to modify it a bit.

(From memory only, might be typo's:)

<snip> <? session_start(); session_register( pre_posted );

if (count( $HTTP_POST_VARS)>=1) { foreach( $HTTP_POST_VARS as $k=>$v ) { $pre_posted[$k] = $v; } header( "Location: $PHP_SELF" ); exit; } elseif ( is_array( $pre_posted )) { foreach( $pre_posted as $k=>$v ) { $$k = $v; } unset( $pre_posted ); }

I found this one. Perhaps it's interesting for someone. Maybe it's even a bug. Or maybe i ignored some specifications. However:

This query:

foo-script.php?param=value#anchorname

will lead to 'value#anchorname' for $HTTP_GET_VARS['param']

Better is this one:

foo-script.php?param=value&#anchorname

which will lead to 'value' for $HTTP_GET_VARS['param']

ok, what i wanted to do was:

1. submit a variable ('param') to the following page

and independently

2. on the following page jump to an anchor ('anchorname')

of course, if you want to submit the variable: 'value#anchorname' to the following page the first approach ist the one and only

Hmm, try preg_match_all ('/<a\s+href[^>]+>([^<]+)<\/a>/', $Subject, $Matches);

$Matches [0] [1], $Matches [1] [1], $Matches [2] [1] etc

will contain the text afterwards.

Have a look at zend optimizer or apc cache (apc.communityconnect.(com|org|net))

Another way would be to clean up your code (if you haven't already done this). Often this can drastically cut down on code size (a cleanup I did recently roughly halved code size) while improving clarity and maintainability

On the first page, the field name that specifies the number of fields is "number_of_fields". On the second page that takes that value and works with it, you can do something like this:

for( $i = 1; $i <= $number_of_fields; $i++ ) { $fieldName = "field$i"; echo "<input type=text name=\"$fieldName\" value=\"${$fieldName}\"><br>\n";

}echo "<input type=hidden name=\"number_of_fields\" value=\"$number_of_fields\">\n";

When processing your form to get the values, do essentially the same thing:

for( $i = 1; $i <= $number_of_fields; $i++ ) { $fieldName = "field$i"; echo "The value entered for field $i is ${$fieldName}<br>\n";

}

Through all your forms, just work with "$number_of_fields".

I am unable to figure out why a price of 1000.00 is being displayed as 1.00 and any price over 1000 does the same thing. 100.00 works fine, as does all other prices, this is the same with and without rounding.

Set a cookie on your site (perhaps the homepage?) and use code like this:

if (!empty($UserHasCookies)) { echo 'Whew - you do have cookies'; }

The idea is to set your code to assume that cookie support is disabled unless it finds a cookie saying otherwise. That way it'll fail safely if someone either doesn't have a cookie or their browser discards the cookie halfway through. This may seem silly, but some people get *really* paranoid about cookies. Combined with the increasingly good cookie management in modern browsers and just about anything is possible - this is in fact the major shortcoming to code like the above - it's possible for someone to accept one cookie and deny another, so just being able to set a cookie once does not mean that you will be able to set another.

Is it possible to use the auto prepend/append directives to prepend/append particular files only to files with a particular extension?

Say I have:

prepend.php append.php

and I want these files to only be prepended/appended to ".HTML" files and no other file type.

Is this possible?

I don't believe you can do this directly with PHP but you probably can with Apache: <Files *.html> php_value prepend_file "foo.php" </Files>

Where do you put this? We've tried everywhere, but's not picking up. Are you doing this? And it's working?

Chris

Chris,

Try putting

<Files "*.html"> php_value auto_prepend_file "foo.php" </Files>

in your httpd.conf file. Once you put this in the conf file for Apache, restart Apache and see if the changes take place. That should do what you want it to.

Unfortunately, no. Here is what we have in our httpd.conf file:

<VirtualHost mydomain.com:80> Port 80 <Files "*.html"> php_value auto_prepend_file "prepend.php" </Files> DocumentRoot /this/is/the/path/to/mydomain.com ServerName mydomain.com </VirtualHost>

We are running several different virtual hosts, but want this change applicable to this one only.

Thanks for everyone's help thus far. Hopefully we can get this up and running.

I've been running into problems when testing PHP scripts on Netscape (when MSIE works fine).

First problem (SOLVED) was that Netscape does something funny with the $PHP_SELF environmental variable, so I've learned to circumvent the problem by just hard-coding the page name instead of relying on the $PHP_SELF trick.

$PHP_SELF is set by the web server - not the browser. Problems in Netscape are almost always caused by incomplete syntax in the HTML code you've output. Netscape is more strict about this than IE.

Hi Augusto, This is a quick hack (nobody freak out please!) that will hopefully explain this question and your other recent thread. Without further ado, play with this :

<?php

$seconds = array ('day' => 60*60*24, 'week' => 60*60*24*7, 'month' => 60*60*24*30, 'year' => 60*60*24*365, 'decade' => 60*60*24*365*10);

testTime($seconds);

function testTime($times,$format='l dS of F Y h:i:s A') { echo 'Current time() : '. time();

echo '<h3>Future Times</h3><ul>'; foreach ($times as $type => $value) {

echo '<li>'. $type . ' : ' . date($format,time()+$value); } echo '</ul>';

echo '<h3>Past Times</h3><ul>'; foreach ($times as $type => $value) {

echo '<li>'. $type . ' : ' . date($format,time()-$value); } echo '</ul>'; }

If it doesn't make sense, just say so. But essentially, timestamps are very cool and important! Time() returns such a beast. It returns the number of seconds since this date, we call it the EPOCH (*bows*) :

Hello,

I've got a script that recurses to build a path name (it's more complex than that). The script uses static variables to do this.

Based on certain conditions, the script might cause a redirect. I find that when the script redirects, the value of the static variable is not reset, and I get a doubled path.

So instead of:

$path == path/to/first/script

I get

$path == path/to/first/script/path/to/second/script

I tried resetting $path based upon the whether or not a flag variable like $is_redirect is in existence, but all other variables seemed to be reset when the browser redirects...which is what you'd expect, except these static variables seem to keep their value.

any ideas?

TIA,

I think you're looking for passthru (or perhaps system or exec). If your php is like this:

<?php passthru ("/tmp/hello.pl yay") ?>

and hello.pl is like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl print 'Args:'.join(' ', ARGV);

Your web page will read:

Args:yay

You'll probably need to change the method of input (to use ARGV instead of <>) on your Porter stemmer program to make it work properly.

Hello all,

I need to remove a comma from inside of 2 quotes ie "1,234.56" I need to change that to "1234.56" Unfortunatly I can not do reg_replace(",","","1,234.56"); This is inside a csv file.

I really suck with Regular expression but what if you did a replacement on 1, and replaced it with 1 2, and replaced it with 2 3, and replaced it with 3

Kind of a cheap workaround. ??

what about

preg_replace("(\d),(\d)", "$1$2",$your_string);

to replace every occurence of a comma surrounded by digits?

This works with 4.04, prior to that the "replace" string would by "\\1\\2".

Hi there,

$ob->date is '2000/03/06'.

$d = ereg_replace('([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)', '\2/\3/\1', $ob->date);

$d is now '03/06/2000'.

$foo = getdate(strtotime($d)+86400);

Here I have to add an entire day to the value of strtotime($d) to get the expected results for below.

echo "<P>" . $foo["weekday"] . ", " . $d . "<blockquote>\n";

Without adding a day to strtotime() $foo["weekday"] is 'Monday'.

Is there some kind of timezone stuff I am not accounting for? or is it something else?

hey,

i wanted to know if there's a fork function in php, cause i don't see it in the manual.

I basically wanna call a C program from PHP.

Now the problem is that the C program will be running for longs periods like maybe half or even an hour. So i would basically want to just execute the program and return control to the script immediately so that the c program continues it's work.

it's easy with forking. but i dont see it in php.

thx.

Hi Natasha,

Well the probably easiest shitty way to do it is:

exec("theprogram 1> /some/file 2>&1 &");

would exec()ute theprogram and will put it's output in /some/file and stderr's output also in the /some/file, and & at last signifies the backgroundness of the program.

however as you mentioned C, the better way could fork it in C, and since i don't wanna get offtopic i won't mention it here.

It's quite easy with PHP as well, even though we do not have forking.

Either use exec("nohup c-program") to detach the program, and return control back to the script, or execute it via a shutdown function. That way, the program gets executed after the script has finished.

PEAR offers an abstraction for executing system commands. Look for CMD.php

Hi,

I'm back, I couldn't resist you mentioning C, so as you did, big fault, the code that follows is probably much better than exec, as an stderr terminal will still be attached, but anyway:

exec("yourprogramname");

this /should/ work, if it don't then the before exec i mentioned would work!

#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h>

void get_into_background(void) { pid_t pid;

// all the familiar kitchenware!

pid = fork(); if(pid != 0) exit(0);

setsid(); // sets out process and group id as part of the session // but only if the process ain't a leader, hehe

close(STDIN_FILENO); close(STDOUT_FILENO); close(STDERR_FILENO);

// the program shouldn't acquire a terminal

signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN); // incase we get HUP'd, ignore!

pid = fork(); if(pid != 0) exit(0);

chdir("/towhere"); umask(0); } void the_actual_exec(void) { char buffer[1024]; char *args[3];

args[0] = "ls"; args[1] = "-F"; args[2] = 0; execv("/bin/ls", args); // 0 terminated array perror("execv"); // as exec dont return nutting // going past exec is an ERROR }

int main(int argc, char **argv) { get_into_background(); the_actual_exec(); return 0; }

List,

I current use something like this to send some one who clicks on my links to the actual web page.

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$url = $row["url"]; $ID = $row["ID"];

header("Location: $url"); header("");

And then the hitcounter for that particular ID is incremented, thus the reason for this whole script.

This works great. However, I would like the option to open up the target in a new window like when you specify "target="somewindowname" in the <a href... tag.

How can I accomplish the same thing with the header or ... sigh ... can I not do this.

John

attached mail follows:

If the only thing you plan on doing after incrementing your counter is going to the new page, why not put the target="_blank" in the <a> tag that points to your script. Then you'll do your counter script and redirect when you're already in a new window.

I'm currently working on the DB project from h*ll. Why? Because a lot of the tables of the normalized DB are mapped into objects and PHP's object support questionable at best.

I've worked around the lack of multiple inheritance, and some of the other problems. But the inability to do something as simple as: object->MethodThatReturnsAnotherObject()->method() is very troublesome

I cannot express how error prone it is to have to create tons of temporary variables.

I can already hear people saying stuff like: "Why don't you use the attribute (or variable) directly?"

Because in most cases MethodThatReturnsAnotherObject() does work before it hands me the object, and it's important to my project.

If someone has a good example of an object framework around a normalized database, I'd love to see it. Otherwise, can someone tell me where in the flipping PHP4 code is this limitation coded?

Dislaimer: I'm irrate. This problem has been grating against me for 4 weeks straight now.

Also, I need to parse the above to get information for something else. Is there any easier way to get "joe" out of the above than a regex?

The # goes at the end of the URL after the query string stuff. Once there, it should be easy to strip off the joe by looking for the last # in the string (not that there will be more than 1!).

Hi Martin,

It's important to know that "Stuff" in the Url like this are just variables. For example :

foo.php?fruit=apples&dog=snoopy&others=huh&more=yep

Now with foo.php we can do this (a few exceptions) :

echo "$dog would like to each some $fruit";

And in your case, you have $page so let's compare your $page variable and include files accordingly. We'll be using an if statement which can be read about here :

http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php

This will do the job :

<?php

if ($page == 'visual') {

echo '<h3>Visual Stuff is Good!</h3>'; include 'visual.txt';

} elseif ($page == 'audio') {

echo '<h3>Welcome to Musical Section!</h3>'; include 'audio.inc';

} else {

echo '<h3>Welcome to my site!</h3>'; include 'default.php'; } ?>

Yes there are other ways but this is the simplest and you should (and will!) learn to use if/elseif/else which will be useful in the future.

Regards,

Philip Olson http://www.cornado.com/

attached mail follows:

There are loads of different ways to spit out a text file.

The easiest is readfile($Filename) which does exactly what you want, providing that the file already contains sanitised html (eg <br> instead of newlines etc.

If not, you could use fread to get the file contents into a variable and then process them as you wish (eg with nl2br etc).

No doubt, you will be told another hundred ways to do it as well :)

My God!!

You're all stars!!! (This is the **fastest** mailing list I've ever joined)

If I have *loads* of links (not just audio & visual) is there a way to create a file to include them all?

Basically - what I've got is a frameset with side & main frames (side is for nav, main is for... well, main stuff!) and all my links are in a .js file:

======================= var navAudio="side.php?page=audio" var mainAudio="main.php?page=audio" function openAudio(){ parent.main.location=mainAudio parent.parent.side.location=navAudio } =======================

and the link <a href="javascript:openAudio()">LINK</a>

..but with audio, visual, act 1, act 2, orchestra, cast, and loads of other "pages". Do I put:

<? switch ($page) { case "audio" : include("side_audio.txt"); break; case "visual" : include("side_visual.txt"); break; case "cast" : include("side_cast.txt"); break; case "orchestra" : include("side_orchestra.txt"); break; } ?>

etc. in every page? Or is there a way of doing the whole link thing and changing several frames with one link in php (just by the .php?page=foo action)

I hope this makes sense!!!

Thanks LOADS!!!!,

I'm trying to develop a front-end using php for mpg123 so that various members of my household don't need to access a shell to start/play music. I'm using something similiar to exec('$null'), w/ $null being equal to "mpg123 -y -Z --all >/dev/null/ &". The problem I'm having, is about 5 minutes after it starts, it dies, with no core dump or anything, the process just stops. I'm sure this is done so that a process won't run forever in the background (bonus/bug), but what if that's what I want? Is there any work around?

This is using php4.0.4pl1 and FreeBSD 4.0 release with apache 1.3.12. Thanks in advance.
